presses survive on word of mouth!]

Dear Friends,

Atticus/Finch is honored to announce the release of its tenth chapbook,
Patrick F. Durgin’s _Imitation Poems_. For most, Durgin’s name will need
little introduction: as editor of Kenning for nearly a decade, he’s played
an inestimable role in the cultural production of some fantastically
important work, and, as a poet, Durgin writes some seriously taut and
careful little numbers. I’ve admired his work for years, and when a Durgin
volume did not materialize in said years, I decided to make one myself. When
you see it, I’m certain you’ll be glad I did! These poems promise to knock
you back into your chair and then onto the ground, and then they promise to
roll you around and around on the ground until you’re dizzy and exhausted
and just want to go to bed.

And to commemorate this, our tenth-book-anniversary, we’ve finally added Pay
Pal to the website! Stop by (www.atticusfinch.org) to view an image of the
cover and read some sample poems, and then buy _Imitation Poems_ for eight
dollars (!) with the click of a button! And if you’ve been meaning to
purchase a copy of John Taggart’s _Unveiling/Marianne Moore_, you should buy
that too before the handful of copies in existence disappears with the click
of a Pay Pal.

OR, if you prefer to do it the old fashioned way, write me a note, cut a
check for eight bucks (made payable to Michael Cross) and mail it here:
